You are taking Lucas' words as THE gospel and conversation ender, but failing to take into account anything else. Anything else such as the fact that whatever he said, it was a collaborative effort by all accounts and the creatives he worked with and were very important in the end product made it into something that could be enjoyed by children but was not CHILDISH. There is a difference. Pretending that it was like the smurfs is disingenuous. Go back and look at all the footage of who was camping out and going to the movies back then. It wasn't tons of children. Further, again, I don't know a lot of children's fare that has severed limbs being a regular part of the proceedings. The tone of the first two movies is decidedly different than it was later on, which if you're being honest you'd admit. However, you want to hold on to what Lucas said as if there is no other factors at play, which is bad faith.
He's the man who created the franchise, why wouldn't I take his words as gospel?
The films were designed for 12-year-olds. I said that right from the very, very beginning and the very first interviews I did for A New Hope. It’s just that they were so popular with everybody, that everybody forgot that.”
It's y'all who won't admit it.
Returns was goofier than the first two. But the first two were never these serious movies and did not have the tone of Andor.
B. You said Star Wars was "at its core" about "goofy aliens". When it was pointed out to you that the first two movies didn't have goofy aliens, you respond by posting pictures of droids. That's bad faith because you couldn't counter with evidence of your own original statement. Additionally, R2 and Threepio aren't particularly goofy. They are comic relief characters at times, but all comic relief isn't goofy. It's a reach, and you know it, otherwise you would have given examples of aliens not droids.
With the exception of the empire, Aliens were everywhere, from Luke's planet, to some of the pilots, to the cloud word etc.
R2 and C-P3 not gooy? now you're trolling..
THIS WASN'T GOOFY?
That scene could fit in with this show's tone?
C. When pointed out to you that the tone of Andor is closer to the original movies, you have no counter but to just keep repeating "Star Wars is for children and is about goofy aliens and space wizards" instead of giving an actual argument as to how it's so different from them. That's bad faith because you're not engaging with the points made - intentionally. Star Wars originally had a focus on fantastical elements of its universe such as Jedi/Sith, spaceships going to battle, etc but as it encompasses an entire galaxy with many different life forms, cultures, environments, etc. the possibilities are endless as far as what it can explore, and there are many examples in non movie/tv fare that don't use all of those elements but still make for compelling stories.
It's ok to just say "I prefer SW to be a certain style" as opposed to continuing to insist that your narrow view of what it is and should be is correct.
That's a lie, the tone of Andor is not closer to the original movies.
If it was this show wouldn't be heralded as a "Mature Star Wars" in the first place. Or be said to be treading "new ground" tonally.
The franchise is for children and there's nothing wrong with that, but you're just a Star Wars fan embarrassed that IT IS and precisely the type of one Lucas talks about here
It aint deep. It's Jedi are good, Sith are bad. Rebels/Alliance are good The Empire bad. Choose good over evil and do not be controlled by anger etc. It's BASIC as it's for KIDS. And that's why Harrison Ford wanted OUT after the first flick.
It aint this serious Blade Runner/Dune type universe you want it to be.
don't understand nerdom brehs
